Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᭑ has the Unicode code point U+1B51. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
Therefore we know that the UTF-8 encoding will be done over 16 bits within the final 24 bits and that it will have the format:1110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx
Where thex
are the payload bits.UTF-8 Encoding bit layout by codepoint range Codepoint Range Bytes Bit pattern Payload length U+0000 - U+007F 1 0xxxxxxx 7 bits U+0080 - U+07FF 2 110xxxxx 10xxxxxx 11 bits U+0800 - U+FFFF 3 1110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 16 bits U+10000 - U+10FFFF 4 11110xxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 21 bits Step 2: Obtain the payload bits:
Convert the hexadecimal code point U+1B51 to binary:
00011011 01010001
. Those are the payload bits.Step 3: Fill in the bits to match the bit pattern:
Obtain the final bytes by arranging the paylod bits to match the bit layout:
11100001 10101101 10010001

Description
U+1B51 is the Unicode code point for Balinese Digit One, a character used primarily in Balinese numeral system. This digit represents the number one in this traditional system, which is widely utilized in the Indonesian region of Bali. The Balinese numeral system is an abugida-based script that employs a set of unique symbols to represent numbers, making it distinct from other numbering systems such as Arabic or Roman numerals. While U+1B51 does not play a significant role in digital text for general users, it holds cultural and linguistic importance for those who are familiar with the Balinese script and its nuances. The character's inclusion in the Unicode Standard ensures its preservation and accessibility for future generations, promoting awareness of diverse writing systems and numeral traditions across the world.
